-2\times 3\times 3q=9+1
Variable q cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3q.
-6\times 3q=9+1
Multiply -2 and 3 to get -6.
-18q=9+1
Multiply -6 and 3 to get -18.
-18q=10
Add 9 and 1 to get 10.
q=\frac{10}{-18}
Divide both sides by -18.
q=-\frac{5}{9}
Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{-18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
